TAYLOR Swift has donated £170,000 ($250,000) to Kesha following her legal battle with Dr. Luke – but Demi Lovato isn't happy about it.

The former X Factor US judge said the Bad Blood singer should be using her influence to discuss the case rather than just throwing money at it.

Kesha was recently denied the right by a judge to break her 6 album contract with Sony despite claiming producer Dr Luke sexually assaulted her.

Taking to Twitter around the time the donation news went public, Demi wrote: "Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak out about something and then I'll be impressed."

Demi is alleged to have made comments on a fan page for Taylor Swift in a response to a Swiftie fan who called her out.

She stated that she felt Calvin Harris' girlfriend could have done more for the case. She is said to have written: "How the f**k am I making this about myself? At least I'm talking about it.

"Not everyone has 250k to just give to people. Would love to but I didn't grow up with money and def haven't made as much as her.

"At least I speak up about s**t that's uncomfortable to talk about rather than trying to be politically correct 24/7."

She added: "There's no 'rivalry' I just give more f**ks than other people and would rather start a dialogue ABOUT WOMEN COMING FORWARD ABOUT BEING RAPED than throw money at one person."

Demi continued that she didn't mean to insult Taylor with her comments adding: "I didn't shade Taylor. If you take it that way than fine. I'm just tired of seeing women use 'women empowerment' and ‘feminism' to further brands without actually being the ones that have the uncomfortable conversations.
